Of course they are!
They are Elliott's mates. All good honest solid top 6 players who we will miss.
They'll do OK but if its promotion you are after forget it, he'll find a way to lose the big games and talk the opposition up to the detriment of your own team. Your biggest asset is the assistant manager, a really good football man who can pick a player.
Play off's almost certainly for Buxton, perhaps that's the height of your clubs ambitions, I don't know, I lost a lot of interest in this league after 13 years of going nowhere and 3 years of Elliott promising plenty and delivering nothing.
